The Quincy School District's Finance Committee discussed the act Tuesday, and the Quincy School Board is expected to talk more about it tonight. But board member and committee Chairman Bill Daniels said that no action is expected and that a special board meeting likely will be called to make a decision about having an advisory referendum on enacting the tax. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/finance-committee---WED
